在基督教里面，"门徒"一词常常被提及。那么到底什么是门徒呢？《马太福音》4章19节，主耶稣说："来跟从我！我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。"跟从耶稣的人，就是耶稣的门徒，而耶稣应许要装备他的门徒，要叫他们"得人如得鱼"。 回到圣经来看，"带门徒"是耶稣给每一个门徒一生的呼召，而不是一个按部就班的门徒培训课程计划，也不是一个完全推给牧师或者事工负责人的任务。本书带领每一位读者返璞归真，回归圣经源头，探寻门徒真义，并以系统学习实践圣经真理的方式，装备每一个门徒活出"带门徒"的呼召。

Christians cannot remain indifferent to the divisions in the Church today. In this study guide companion, Chan draws on the gospel infused message of Until Unity to remind readers that Church unity is not optional. This study guide includes: Deeper exploration of every chapter in Until Unity Free original videos with Francis Chan Tips for leading and participating in a small group Scripture passages and reflection questions Prompts for group and individual prayer Chan’s emphasis on worship and praise, along with his passionate teaching, make this guide a unique and life-changing exploration of why unity is not just God’s wish for His Church—it’s His command.

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan calls for believers and churches everywhere to align our hearts with God and start taking seriously His numerous commands to unify. It is absolutely clear from Scripture that God passionately desires supernatural unity within His Church. Unity is what Jesus prays for, what He commands, and what He says will be our greatest witness to the world. If unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most divided groups on earth? While many believe doctrine is at the root of the problem, Francis argues that the real problem is the shallowness or non-existence of our love for each other—rooted in a shallowness in our understanding of the gospel. This is what desperately needs to change. The reason that God gifts the Church with leaders is so they can equip God’s people in a way that leads to “unity of the faith” (Ephesians 4:13). We have done a poor job at this, but it can all change. Those who are believers will hear the call and be “eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (v. 3). There will be opposition, but we cannot allow anything to discourage us from giving everything we have to the pursuit of a unified, restored Bride.

A New York Times-bestselling title, with over 300,000 units sold, in which Francis Chan challenges Christians to lean into God’s original desire for the Church. Do you want more from your church experience? Does the pure gospel put you in a place of awe? Are you ready to rethink church as you know it?
